Dominate the Country

Poltavchenko, who was commanding from the rear, could not easily detect it, but all the Russian troops on the front line knew clearly that for every Chinese soldier killed in battle, two Russian troops would be killed! In other words, even if the Wehrmacht is extremely tired, and even if the Russians have a certain physical advantage, the Russian army's tactical quality is still not as good as that of the Wehrmacht!

With a loud "boom", a rocket landed about a hundred meters away from the front of the bunker where Poltavchenko was hiding. In addition to sending a Russian mortar position into the sky, it also stirred up the sky. of dust and stumps!

Poltavchenko frowned and looked at the mess of artillery positions, but he had to admit that the Chinese National Defense Forces' technical arms such as gunners [including rocket soldiers], snipers and engineers were very good! Many of the lower-level battlefield commanders and important firepower points of the Russian army were killed and destroyed!

And the Chinese tactics are also very flexible! While launching the attack, they also built temporary positions among the positions. In the current weather, such positions would be difficult to discover. But if the front was restored and the Russian army returned to the front, they would be discovered by the Chinese. Chances are, a rocket can cost the Russian army a lot of money.

At dawn, the battle is still going on. After all, the National Defense Force has an absolute advantage in strength.

However, without the cover of darkness, the offensive of the National Defense Force was obviously not as smooth as last night.

In the morning, the battle lasted for two hours. After the National Defense Force launched an attack with little effect but no significant casualties, they changed their tactics and started playing with brown sugar again. Although the casualties will not be very large, the rocket bombardment from both sides will consume the number of rockets. In the past few days, the National Defense Forces used such tactics, consuming the Russian army's rocket reserves bit by bit. Even on the battlefield where the Wehrmacht surrounded the Russian fortress, the Wehrmacht used the same tactics - purely hurting people at their own risk.

As a result, an unexpected situation brought the fighting to a sudden halt - the heavy rain that God had been brewing for several days finally fell.

It was an absolute torrential rain that continued until the evening. Although the rainfall reduced a lot, it showed no intention of stopping! This makes Poltavchenko feel even more depressed!

Although the heavy rain greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Chinese's superior cavalry troops. But their Cossacks were also half-crippled.

Moreover, there is a problem with reserves. Some of the few rockets left in the hands of the Russian army are damp, and many powder barrels are also damp.

The first lieutenant of the Russian army ran up to him panting heavily, looking embarrassed, and said loudly: "General! The soldiers are exhausted, hungry and cold, the trenches are filled with rainwater, and the Chinese rockets are still firing. They are Keep approaching us!"

The strong wind obstructed the view of both armies, but who was more unlucky, it must be the Russians. Because they are the surrounded party!

Even if Poltavchenko ordered the army to expand the defensive area as much as possible as soon as he encountered the enemy - the Russian army's defense line was also light in front and heavy in the rear. Only a small number of troops were retained on the first and second lines - rocket troops, third line and Only at the rear were there soldiers organized into battalions and companies—but they were still at a disadvantage.

Now the Russian army's defensive positions are constantly shrinking and are constantly being eroded by the Wehrmacht. The density of soldiers on the Russian army's positions will continue to increase, and the threat from rockets from the National Defense Forces will become more and more serious.

Moreover, the number of rockets in the Russian army is getting smaller and smaller, and it has become more difficult to launch rockets.

Because many of the rockets of the Russian army are still of the matchlock type, the weather is certainly affected nowadays; and the rockets of the National Defense Forces have been developed to this day, and they are completely of the percussion cap type. The launcher has evolved from a simple bracket at the beginning to a sight, a simple rangefinder, a level and a flintlock engine, and it has become more and more professional.

What the captain and staff officer of the Russian army said was all true. The heavy rain really caused too much trouble for the Russians. The rockets were on the one hand, and the water in the trenches on their position - the Russian trenches had not yet evolved. The existence of drainage ditches and the crackling raindrops seriously affected the Russian army's food supply and their own warmth and cold protection.

Except for China, which equips every field soldier with a convenient raincoat, no other country in the world has this condition.

The Russian army is really in a bad situation now.

But Poltavchenko had already ordered that his subordinates were not allowed to spread unfavorable information about the war situation in public! When the Russian soldiers on guard around him looked over in surprise, Poltavchenko had already slapped the captain's staff officer in the face.

"Asshole, you stupid pig!" Poltavchenko glared at the staff officer angrily. "The Slavs can even conquer the cold winter wind and snow, so what does this little rain mean? Victory ultimately belongs to us!" Although he was increasingly surrounded by the Wehrmacht, Poltavchenko did not admit defeat. The Russian army was just because After days of marching, I am very tired. At this moment, he ignored the fact that the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side had been marching for days, and blindly concluded that the Russian army was a tired army and needed to rest. After a break, the tall Russians can definitely pick off two Chinese.

Is this considered a kind of deception of oneself?

However, Poltavchenko did not know that when he spoke, the National Defense Forces were rapidly shrinking their forces and concentrating their forces, preparing to launch another fierce attack on the Russian army's leading brigade tonight. It would be best to deal with this force in the rainy night. Russian army.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Wehrmacht suffered a certain amount of casualties, but at least completed the division and outflanking of Poltavchenko's brigade! The militia regiment assigned to his ministry was torn apart by the National Defense Forces. It can be said that it has been bitten into its mouth, but it has not been swallowed in one bite. Poltavchenko successively issued orders to the Oganese regiment and the Popov regiment, asking them to immediately open contact with the militia regiment.

After the Russian army's second charge was repulsed, Poltavchenko even sent out the only remaining reserve regiment in his hand. The strength of this regiment was just over a thousand. It had been staying with the brigade headquarters and was the vanguard. The absolute reserve force in the brigade has a much lower combat effectiveness than the two main regiments, and is slightly stronger than the militia regiment.

The Russian army still maintains its previous tactics!

It is almost the same process as when the Chinese National Defense Forces fight an offensive war. That is to first bombard them with rockets and artillery shells, and then take the opportunity to attack with infantry. During the third attack, the middle and lower-level officers of the Russian army began to breathe heavily, and then commanded their soldiers to attack the Wehrmacht regardless of casualties.

At this moment, the National Defense Forces are also stepping up their efforts to eliminate this militia group of the Russian army.

When playing offensive warfare, Chen Han's triangle offense and human sea tactics were still not used much by Jinhua. Because what Chen Ming came up with was high-standard advanced infantry tactics, and he already had a base of 80 points. If he wanted to be excellent, and if he wanted to shoot for higher scores, the progress would of course be low.

Just like the offensive tactic of the Japanese Army - Wave Charge, this was a tactic commonly used by the Japanese army during World War II. The attacking troops were divided into one-tenth of the total strength and attacked the weak points of the enemy's positions one after another. A sexual attack gives the opponent the feeling of unlimited attacking force, thereby destroying the enemy's self-confidence and breaking through the enemy's defense line.

The offensive tactics of the Jinjin team are this system. The Japanese people's personality makes them more adaptable to this method of tactics. But they have fought a lot of wars over the years, right? But I've never seen them make any improvements to wave charging.

The Russian militia has fallen into a huge crisis!

Although the offensive strength of the Wehrmacht was not much greater than that of the Russian army, the Russian army also built simple trenches, and it rained, and all the floating soil blown up by rocket bombs on the battlefield turned into silt, and the troops were advancing at a much faster speed. No, but the Russian militia troops still could not stop the fierce attack of the Wehrmacht.

Half an hour later, the Russian militia regiment had lost most of its positions.

But the resistance of the Russian troops in the remaining positions also became stronger because their troop density was higher. But this is not a problem. The National Defense Forces also carry grenades with them, and there are rockets behind them.

The Russian people's fighting spirit is really tenacious. Even to this extent, this militia group is still resisting and its attitude is resolute. It really told Wei Xiuzhi with facts that one of the characteristics of the Russian militia is that they are not strong in combat effectiveness, but they have a tenacious will to fight. It's a pity that no "spirit" is of any use in the face of the rockets falling from the sky. When the offensive troops of the Wehrmacht followed the rockets and arrived at the last position of the Russian militia group, they could no longer meet a few people with their necks stretched out to be slaughtered. .

Large tracts of Russian soldiers lay on the ground, dying miserably. Under the light of torches, the mud turned red.

And it may be that God doesn't want to see so many casualties. The heavy rain finally showed signs of stopping, and the rain has already reduced to light rain.

The Wehrmacht quickly dealt with the remnants of the militia regiment, and also sent the Russian regiment commander, who had lost a leg, to a field hospital in the rear.

In the simple trench, Poltavchenko was covered with the smell of mud and gunpowder smoke. He squinted his eyes and watched the waves of explosions one after another, as well as the gradually disappearing sounds of fighting on the militia group's position!

Chinese artillery and rocket soldiers shoot very quickly and accurately! Moreover, its firepower intensity is several times higher than that of the Russian army!

Poltavchenko had a very bad feeling. Because he believes that today's "vanguard brigade" is like a section of bamboo, and the Chinese are like a machete being wielded. When enough force is used to split the first bamboo section, the rest is - overwhelming! The Chinese spent a lot of money to defeat the militia regiment, so will they soon break through the Oganese regiment and the Popov regiment? The battle line was less than half a mile away from Poltavchenko's brigade headquarters!

Rumyantsev commanded the Russian army and also took advantage of the dark night and rainy days to launch a fierce attack on the blocking troops of the Wehrmacht. But the latter was like a boulder or a nail, causing the Russian army's several attacks to achieve nothing, and without exception they suffered heavy setbacks!

Unknowingly, the front of the position was quickly filled with bloody corpses! Both from the Wehrmacht and the Russian army!

According to the reactions of the Russian soldiers, these Chinese soldiers of average stature are not only strong-willed, but also have rich hand-to-hand combat skills! What's more important is that each of them has a breastplate and has sharp assassination skills. They took advantage of the sporadic bayonet fights with the Russian army!

Dark night is indeed a good time for armies from both sides to fight to the death.

Because neither army has enough rockets to perform carpet bombing in front of the position. Even if the flares were raised, looking at the formation of soldiers above zero, who could pass through a whale at a distance from each other, it was really a waste to fire rockets.

The cost of these rockets is not high, but if they are transported to the Kama River at a low cost, their value will increase dramatically, and they are not such a waste. Therefore, hand-to-hand combat between the two armies is essential.

At this time, the Wehrmacht's blocking positions had already been staggered, forming a chaotic situation of "you in me, me in you" in the drizzle of the night. If the Wehrmacht could not support it, or even had a little wavering, it would form a situation of collapse of the whole regiment!

If it is not sure, it will shake the main force behind.

Fortunately, Wei Xiuzhi always cares about the blocking troops. After finding that the situation is not good, he immediately sent reinforcements there.

The mud and blood in the rain dyed the positions red. The soldiers on both sides clashed with bayonets, and their fighting will was extremely strong!

The war is fierce and bloody!

The subsequent attacking Russian army couldn't help but be dumbfounded-this tenacious fighting will is really shocking. You must know that the Russian offensive force is the fist force in Rumyantsev's hands, and the number is at least twice that of the Chinese.

As for the Wehrmacht, they can only sigh that it is the old unit when the emperor started, and it is a team separated from the "tank battalion". It really did not disappoint anyone.

Of course, there were soldiers on both sides who were scared! A few people even tried to retreat secretly, or smeared bloody mud on their faces and cunningly lay on the ground pretending to be dead!

In the middle of the night, it was still a quarter of an hour before one o'clock in the morning.

Poltavchenko only had a remaining command post in his hands. His reserve regiment was greatly collapsed, and the two main regiments were divided into several large pieces by the Wehrmacht, and were on the verge of being wiped out!

Poltavchenko looked gloomy and looked desperately outside the encirclement. The reinforcements in the west still failed to break through the obstruction of the Chinese troops!

Poltavchenko felt that he was really going to die. He would not see the daylight of tomorrow unless he was willing to surrender to the Chinese. But for this great shame, Poltavchenko would rather be on the battlefield than lower his head.

"General, the Chinese rockets can already hit here!" The adjutant spoke anxiously, interrupting Poltavchenko's continued despair. The adjutant was also from an aristocratic family. He was only in his twenties and had the rank of lieutenant colonel. He still has a bright future and decades of good life ahead of him, so he doesn't want to follow Poltavchenko to his death.

But he can't abandon Poltavchenko and surrender alone now.

There are so many people in the command center, it's impossible for them all to die. If he really abandons Poltavchenko and runs away alone, his reputation will be completely ruined. Even if he returns to St. Petersburg alive in the future, he will have no future. It is not impossible that his family will remove him in order to maintain his reputation.

The main force of the Russian army on the periphery has been fighting fiercely with the Wehrmacht until now. Although it has caused a lot of casualties to the Wehrmacht, it has never been able to break through the Wehrmacht's blocking line and move closer to the Poltavchenko Brigade! The form of this battle cannot be determined. But the Russian army's vanguard brigade must be removed.

Poltavchenko was a little indifferent. It doesn't matter where you die.

With a loud bang, a solid bullet hit the bunker where Poltavchenko was hiding. The Russian guards inside fell to the ground regardless of the mud on the ground. Poltavchenko couldn't help but tremble.

But he still didn't want to leave here.

This was his headquarters, and dying here was a worthy death.

...

Solid bullets didn't have much destructive power on bunkers. Poltavchenko was still very targeted when he marched. Although there were no mountains in the area originally controlled by the vanguard brigade, there was a small forest. Now the trees in the forest were cut down by the Russian army, and his own brigade headquarters were reinforced with logs as thick as thighs. A layer of logs and a layer of loess, so there were three layers on top, and finally covered with khaki canvas for cover.

The Wehrmacht was getting closer and closer! In the drizzling rain, Poltavchenko could vaguely see their figures through the observation port.
